QuoteHive requires strong authentication before the actions that matter: you must have two-factor authentication (or a passkey) enabled before you can post a job or place a bid.
Enable it under Account → Security. Scan the QR code with any authenticator app (Google Authenticator, 1Password, Aegis…) and confirm the 6-digit code. You’ll also receive one-time backup codes: store them somewhere safe; each works once if you lose your phone.
Passkeys let you sign in with your device’s fingerprint, face or PIN, no code to type, and phishing-resistant. Add one under Account → Security → Passkeys. A passkey also satisfies the strong-auth requirement for posting and bidding.
Minimum 8 characters, stored only as a salted hash. Change yours under Account → Security; forgot it? Use password reset and we’ll email you a link. If you’re locked out of 2FA and out of backup codes, contact support for an identity-checked reset.
